Jermaine Dupri - Been Away lyrics
Q "The Kid" ft. Jermaine Dupri 
 "Been Away"
 JD
 its been a long time comin, im here now
 nobody can stop that
 verse 1 (JD)
 i done traveled long distances
 im the meaning of what persistence is
 and music is the only thing ive really loved since i was a kid
 and its the only thing im gonna love forever
 ive been through the hard times and bad weathers
 long days and long nights, tryin to get my career together
 but school was my first goal, bump these brauds
 i was blessed with a talent that could get me real far in time
 and trust me im nice with mine
 and im sick with an instrument listen to the drumline
 and all i got is more fire to come 
 a lotta cats is nice, but im liver than them
 and these ATL streets, is what im tryin to rise up from
 by any means just to get that cream
 it was hard but i did it graduated to the big screen
 now im on tour and the kid got bigger dreams
 chorus
 you cant help me ive been away to long
 im just tryin to chase my dreams
 did i leave your mind when i was gone
 i hope not, cuz im still here
 you cant help me ive been away to long
 im just tryin to chase my dreams
 did i leave your mind when i was gone
 i hope notJermaine Dupri - Been Away - http://motolyrics.com/jermaine-dupri/been-away-lyrics.html
 verse 2 (Q "the Kid")
 now im in a new state new division
 new sound new shit im on a new mission a good life livin
 things done changed, new deal new aim
 2 new four fifths, benz and a range
 ive came a long way from sittin on a block
 from bustin shots in broad days to number one slots
 but look ima grind through it
 and i can make anything happen as long as i put my mind to it
 i love music kid im real nice with them sticks
 no class no tutors i was born with this gift
 and its only a few, one or two i can name
 and cuz im hot, dudes wanna X me out the game
 but ima keep strivin
 and hustle all the way from the bottom to the top and surprise em
 and show niggaz it dont hurt to try
 stay focused and you bound to get by
 SING WIT ME YA'LL!
Chorus
 Verse 3 (Q "the Kid" and JD)
 ive came a long way and look i done made it
 and nothin you do or say can stop me cuz this is what im here for
 and hot beats is all i got an ear for you could never nop me 
 what im sheddin tears for
 look, it was rough but i made it at last
 top dog major the head of my class
 now its JD who they wanna get along with 
 its Q who they wanna do a song with
chorus to fade
